Nils Steps it Up! Fundraising Challenge for Diabetes UK

Nils, one of our office-based team members, is taking on the 1 Million Step Challenge in support of Diabetes UK. Between 1st July and 30th September 2026, he will aim to complete 1,000,000 steps to raise funds for life-saving research, care, and support for people living with diabetes.

Inspired by his wife, who has lived with Type 1 Diabetes for over twenty years, Nils has seen first-hand the daily realities of managing the condition. From constant blood sugar monitoring to ongoing adjustments throughout the day and night, he has witnessed the dedication, resilience, and strength required to live with Type 1 Diabetes.

Through this challenge, Nils hopes to show his support not only for his wife, but for everyone affected by diabetes. People living with Type 1 Diabetes are estimated to make between 180–300 additional health-related decisions every single day, without the option of taking a day off. By completing one million steps over the course of three months, he aims to raise awareness and encourage greater understanding, empathy, and support for those living with the condition.

If you are able to, please consider supporting the challenge by donating or sharing the fundraising page. Every contribution—no matter the size—helps raise awareness and support for people living with diabetes.

Together, we can help turn one million steps into something far more impactful.
